Modern Times

In Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, it was blatent that technological times were not nearly as advanced a\s one may assume. Especially knowing the technologies we have in our times, taking a look back with as little as they had is quite an eye-opener in itself. Watching the tramp struggle with the technologies in his many jobs, in his many visitations in the jail, and with his associations with the woman, it was clear that he had a difficult time adjusting.

Assuming that we are at our technological peak, currently, it's always interesting to see how times can and have changed our everyday lives. From cell phones to internet to cell phones that have internet, there is a world of technological advancement that we have yet to discover. Realizing this, we can begin to hopefully appreciate the technologies we currently have, because I am sure, in 50 years we will see a film based on today and wonder how anyone could have ever survived. Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times teaches to appreciate and live inthe age you're in. Technologies wll always advance and always be more than they were when started. It's imperative to dwell in those moments and live them to the fullest.

A Space Odyssey

In the short clip from the film: 2001: A Space Odyssey, there were multiple visions of the future. In terms of the apes and the way they grew to develop technology in their lifestlye, it's easy to see where technology comes into play. The apes begin with defense mechanisms of bones from other dead animals and use them by beating other animals for nurishment or in terms of defense against other species much stronger than the apes. The apes could begin to sirvive much longer and more sufficiently than before with these new forms of technological advancement.
Later, the movie goes on to show the future, 2001, and a space mission taking place. It's symbolic of the transformation of humans and technology. How the human race utilizes technology and the exact technologies that they use has come a long way, obviously, and the movie resembles that from the apes to the space odyssey.
